But the muddled contest for third – U.S. Sen.

In an exclusive interview with NBC Charlotte’s Rad Berky, Ted Cruz said he is appealing to more than just evangelicals who will make up more than 50-percent of the Republican electorate in the February 20 primary.
Florida, which votes on March 15, could prove decisive. “Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio aren’t done yet”.
Looks like Rubio won’t be pulling his punches on debate night.
The older brother remains an intensely divisive figure in American politics, having presided over the USA invasion of Iraq after the 9/11 attacks on the United States in 2001 and an economy that turned sharply south near the end of his second term. Tim Scott for Rubio.
Jeb Bush’s campaign is unveiling a radio ad Wednesday in SC featuring Jeb Bush’s famous presidential brother, George W. Bush. We’ve been building an organization here.
The news wasn’t as good for former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who had been polling at 13 percent in January after receiving the endorsement of South Carolina Sen. Kasich had nearly 16 percent and Cruz, Bush and Rubio virtually tied for third with around 11 percent.
Gailmard says what’s clear now is that the primary battle will last longer than many people expected. CNN’s senior political analyst David Gergen suggested Cruz “probably has the best chance now” of tackling Trump in a two-man race, though he noted “enmity toward [Cruz] is high in the party”.
Carly Fiorina and Chris Christie – two Republican candidates who at one point enjoyed loyal followings – are now out of the 2016 race. After a strong second place showing in New Hampshire, the poll found that his support in sc had tripled, from 3 percent to 9 percent. Kasich’s vote total was only half that gained by billionaire businessman Donald Trump, but above a handful of other candidates vying for the nod as the GOP’s establishment candidate.
The margin between Trump and Cruz, victor of the Iowa caucus, is similar to the past four S.C. polls taken since mid-December. He repeated the same kind of line repeating on the campaign trail Monday. “Our disappointment tonight is not on you, it’s on me”.
At first glance, that’s just what happened Tuesday night.
On Wednesday, Rubio was upbeat on NBC’s “Today” program. He should be able to get back on his feet. We’re going to be the nominee.

We’re going to go home to New Jersey tomorrow, and we’re going to take a deep breath. While he believes some Fiorina supporters may go for Rubio, he sees some veering off for Cruz – who, like Fiorina, has been particularly tough on Democrat Hillary Clinton.
